All the people also vote on representatives who then vote on policy and its initiatives. Australia is also in a constitutional Monarchy with England. Dictating that Queen Elizabeth II is our head of state. Australia is a constructional monarchy. We have our own government, constitution and parliament, but still have a monarch, England’s Queen Elizabeth II. However our monachal head of state has little actual power, which is distributed through the governor general. Australia is a democracy, meaning the public (Australian citizens over the age of 18) vote for our representatives in parliament who in turn vote on policy.

Primary Secondary  and Tertiary Industries	A primary industries main concern is the gathering of raw, unpolished and unrefined resources. Primary industries generally involve agricultural farming, mining or forestry. Focusing on obtaining raw resources to be processed. A secondary industry is the next step in the production line from a primary industry. They intake raw resources and process them into things fit for construction or the selling of goods. Also known as the manufacturing industry. A tertiary industry is also known as the service industry. They deal with things like education, food and finance.
What kind of work do they do?	Although Australia’s mining boom may be over we still have a large amount of our income from our primary industries.  Australia being the third biggest mining country in the world means we get roughly 5+ billion dollars a year from our successful mining industries. We also have been recently dealing with a lot of deforestation especially in Tasmania. Although not much action may have been taken it is a possibility and may further increase our reliance on primary industries.	Thailand’s economy involves a lot of secondary industries. Which is the manufacturing of raw resources. These industries make things like plastic and other consumer goods like apparel or furniture. With a large amount of secondary industries in an economy there comes a larger amount of poverty due to an overflow of workers and inadequate wages.

How do they judge right from wrong?		The Thai judicial system is similar to European and Australian systems. When a dispute is brought before a judge the court will decide a case. Thai laws derive from two major sources; legislative and executive branches of both central and local governments. Constructional law looks at the powers and relationship of the three branches of government with each other and the relationship between the Government and its citizens in regards to rights and responsibilities. An act is the most common piece of law and is made by parliament Codes are features of civil law in legal systems. Commercial code, penal code, civil and Criminal Procedure Codes are examples.
